El Paso Community College is the best place to start. For my first semester there, I experienced how college functions. I enjoyed that they made an event for anybody to learn. As well as activities to have fun and distress. The professors can know you personally, and it is easier to communicate with them.

  8. What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?

    I tell my friends that this school will get your feet off the ground first and then little by little you learn more in the teaching ways the instructor or professor is teaching you about. The program that I am in is Culinary Arts and Related Sciences which will teach some of the basics we're use to at home but later in the program it gives you more advanced teaching for those who want to work in the food industry or learn more baout cooking or baking.
